Chapter 224: 224

Fang Xiaoyu also proudly said, "My mom also likes the things I cook."

"Do all of you know how to cook?" Gu Xiaoran had a big question mark in his head.

Shen Yibo said with a chuckle, "Isn’t cooking just about throwing meat into a pot and boiling it? It’s so simple, who wouldn’t know how!"

Gu Xiaoran: ...

Why could everyone cook except for him and An Xi?

Originally, he thought it was normal for a child like himself not to know how to cook and that it was embarrassing for An Xi because she was an adult. But now, seeing that everyone seemed to know how to cook, he suddenly felt embarrassed himself.

[Why do I find it so funny when I see these two kids talking and, together with Gu Xiaoran’s expression?]

[Nowadays, even kids of a few years old are so competitive, they already know how to cook at such a young age.]

[I’m 242 months old, and so far, I can only make instant noodles...]

[I’m a bit better than you, upstairs. I’m 230 months old, and besides instant noodles, I can also cook instant noodles!]

[...]

Shen Yibo then pointed to the pork belly on the table, his tone full of anticipation, "Uncle, I also want to make something delicious for my mom today, can you give me this piece of meat?"

The man nodded, "Okay, there’s a lot of meat here, uncle will divide some for you, and some other meat as well. Each of you take a bit back."

Xiao Yiyi quietly said, "Uncle, do you have any eggs at home? I’d like to take less meat in exchange for two eggs."

Because both she and her mother liked eggs, and she wanted to make scrambled eggs for her mother at noon.

Fang Xiaoyu also nodded, "Uncle, I also want to take less meat, I would like some rice, since I need to cook rice for lunch."

Gu Xiaoran said, "I don’t mind, uncle, just give me whatever you think."

Song Yuchen watched the man bustling about, one minute dividing meat, the next getting eggs, then grabbing some vegetables, and he said in his baby voice, "All the things in uncle’s house are going to be taken by us."

The man laughed, "It’s okay, if uncle gives them to you today, I can go buy more tomorrow."

When Song Yuchen heard the word ’buy,’ he said seriously, "Uncle, I’m now recording a show with my mom, and all her money has been taken away. The next time we meet, I will definitely return the money to you, double."

Shen Yibo nodded, "Mm-hmm, I will also return double the money for the meat, uncle, remember to give me more meat~"

Gu Xiaoran saw how in tune Shen Yibo and Song Yuchen were with each other and pouted, "Uncle, I will return many, many times the amount. My grandma is very rich!"

[I mean, who can resist being charmed by this pair of little ones? Just listen to them sweet-talking, really knows how to flatter people. ]

[This big brother might not be articulate, but he’s really nice~]

[Anyone who sees such a bunch of cute kids would be happy. It’s not just about exchanging meat; if they came to my house asking to exchange money, I would give it to them.]

[Are you implying, upstairs, that you would treat our kids like beggars?]

[Didn’t you hear what the little ones said? They’re not short of money. Do you think their families would care about the little bits we give?]

[Hahaha, the people upstairs are really funny.]

The man was instantly amused by these adorable kids and laughed heartily. He packed the divided meat into each little one’s basket, making sure not to touch the spareribs meant for Xiao Chen.

As well as the rice Fang Xiaoyu wanted, the eggs Xiao Yiyi asked for, and some other vegetables.

Song Yuchen took out a carrot from his basket and placed it on the table, "Uncle, I don’t have much to give you, but here’s a carrot for you."

Following Song Yuchen’s action, the other four little guys also pretended to take out the carrots from their baskets and put them on the table.

The man stopped them, "No need, no need, little ones, Uncle has plenty of carrots and cabbages at home, too many to eat, so you take them back home and cook them."

"Alright then, thank you, Uncle," Song Yuchen thought for a moment and then took out the small box of chocolates that Xiaowen had given him that morning from his pocket. He opened the packaging bag, which contained six individually wrapped little chocolates.

He took out four of them and placed them on the table, "Uncle, since, since..."

As he spoke, the little guy began to stutter, feeling a bit embarrassed.

The man watched Xiao Chen’s suckling look and couldn’t help laughing, unable to close his mouth, "There’s no need to give anything to Uncle, thank you, Xiao Chen."

"It’s not that, Uncle, I’m not being stingy by not giving you a whole box of chocolates, I... I can only give you four, I have to save the other two for Ye Zhenzhen, so please don’t mind, this is also a little token of my appreciation."

After saying that, Song Yuchen even reached back and scratched the back of his head.

[Hahaha, Xiao Chen really acts like a little adult, he’s been taught so well.]

[This is really too cute, he’s both cool and adorable, and there’s a touch of silly charm to him, hahaha.]

[Song Yuchen: Calling me silly? I’m silly? Oh, probably because I’ve spent too much time with Shen Yibo~]

[I really like Xiao Chen, so kind and polite.]

Shen Yibo blinked his eyes and, seeing Xiao Chen share his chocolate, he also took out his reward from the morning, a White Rabbit creamy candy.

After placing the candy on the table, Little Yibo smiled innocently, "Uncle, I have a candy here for you too, thanks for your meat, Uncle."

Fang Xiaoyu and Xiao Yiyi also took out their candies, chorusing, "Uncle, here’s my candy too."

Gu Xiaoran pouted again, "Why haven’t you guys eaten your candies?"

He had eaten his candy as soon as they left the yard.

[Hahaha, so, it’s not really about exchanging carrots for vegetables, is it? The point is to exchange candy for meat, right?]

[I knew it! The show didn’t give the kids candy last episode. How come they’re so generous this time? Turns out it was for this!]

[Hahaha, Gu Xiaoran’s expressions keep changing, it’s hilarious!]

The little ones with this move had completely baffled the man, who laughed and said, "Uncle doesn’t eat candy, you guys keep it for yourselves."

Fang Xiaoyu cocked his head and said, "Uncle, if you won’t eat it, you can give it to your child!"

Xiao Yiyi’s childish voice chimed in, "Right, Uncle, this candy is so tasty, you can give it to your little baby~"

The two little girls’ fair faces were serious as if they were offering advice on a matter of great importance.

[Ahhhh, our Xiao Yu is so good at talking!]

[Candy is such a big temptation for kids, and they just gave theirs away!]

[The little ones are amazing!]

"Right, Uncle, just take it, otherwise... otherwise we’ll feel very embarrassed," Song Yuchen said.

The man, seeing how polite the little guys were, no longer refused, "Alright, Uncle will accept it. Uncle has a little sister at home, almost 5 years old, so on behalf of my sister, thank you guys."
